Defensive weapons

Defensive weapons are used for defense only. There is no way to use them in any attack. Defensive weapons are always used in response to an attack. The weapons are always part of a military unit or a garrison and the unit can be stationed at any location and will be used for the defense of that location or in the defense of the military unit.

Not all defensive weapons are effective against all offensive or strategic weapons and they will only participate in the defense if they can be effective against some of the attacking weapons.

Example: Anti aircraft missile batteries will participate in the defense if attack helicopters are used but will not participate if the attacker uses only heavy tanks.
